Of Course John McCain Would Know What Is And Isn’t Sexist
Created: September 9th, 2008 | Written By: Kyle E. Moore

So,John McCain really wants to start a new lie by insinuating that Barack Obama’s “lipstick on a pig” jab was sexist. At first I was pissed, but you know, if anyone would know what sexism and misogyny are, it would be John McCain.

Yup, John McCain knows sexism, after all, he:

* Suggest his wife, Cindy, compete in a topless beauty pageant.
* “Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die?”
* “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?… Because her father is Janet Reno.”
* “And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago.”

* “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.” To Cindy McCain.

* Then there was John McCain cheating on his first wife and the mother of his oldest three children. That affair would end result in a divorce and a subsequent marriage to the current Mrs. McCain that everyone knows. The first wife; the woman who waited McCain’s return home, Carol, had been in an accident and by the time John came back from Vietnam, she was no longer tall and thin, but instead walked with a limp and had put on weight. I suppose McCain figured that heroes deserved women who were still in their beauty pageant/model form.

* You also have John McCain’s opposition to the Ledbetter legislation. This bill, named after a woman who attempted to sue for equal pay, but failed, was intended to give women the opportunity to sue for money they rightfully earned by performing the same job as higher paid male coworkers.

* “How do we beat the bitch?” from a McCain supporter regarding Hillary Clinton. McCain’s didn’t seem too terribly concerned with sexism at that particular point in time.

So I’m afraid you’ll have to forgive me, but John McCain is the last person I want sensitivity training from; don’t throw stones when you are in any of your seven glass houses.
